If I had a rack I would have definitely caught the misalignment sooner as I don't think I would have been able to get the carbs on the studs, because the adapter plates were too far off. I think if I had one of the aftermarket carb couplers that might have also helped. None the less, I was able...

It was the mounting plates that bolt to the bottom of the carbs that was causing the issue. There is enough slop in the bolt holes shown below that when all bolted up it was causing the butterfly shafts not to align perfectly between the two carbs. Some minor adjustments to the position of those...

You can kind of see it here.

I think that one came out better. I thought the same thing about the throttle shaft at first but, they go through the middle and can only go one way. It looks like the issue was that the shafts of the two carbs weren't aligning when everything was bolted down.

Something deffinatelt happened to the quality of the pic when I uploaded it. Maybe because it rotated it. Idk. Try this one.

hey, After making a jetting change to my carbs this morning and double checking the synchronization, I noticed something really odd. While the carbs are perfectly synced with the butterfly valves closed, once I start to open up the throttle they are clearly out of synch. Here is a shot of what...

So while I was waiting for my hull to arrive this past winter decided to go ahead and do some porting work on the cylinder and cases. I realize this was risky, but I figured if I screwed it up I would just get a big motor sooner. I tried to keep it pretty conservative since this was my first...

Supercharged hands down!!! While I myself am more of a Seadoo guy when it comes to sit downs (Fully built 88+MPH RXT-X running 25lbs of boost) all of my sit down buddies love the Yamaha line of skis, and all have SVHO models. Once you have ridden a ski with a supercharger, there is no going back...

So the B-Pipe and Head have no affect on what the pop off pressure will measure. However, I believe those mods will sometimes require a change in the pop off pressure, if that makes sense. As for the hard starting and pop off pressure. This is where things get a little complicated, and I...

They sell a bunch of different springs and needles/valves. Here is the table from the Mikuni SBN handbook that shows you the different pop off pressures you can set. If you haven't read through that yet you really need to. Repeatedly... lol I have read it at least a dozen times, not kidding.

Yea thats more what I was talking about, that's good to know though. So what made you decide to go with an 1100? Thats the biggest thing holding me up right now. Given how much any of these motors cost, I don't plan on buying another any time soon. And I don't want to end up being in a...

I may have been misinformed then.

Thanks. Unfortunately it's my understanding that Dasa motors are pretty hard to come by right now, so i think that probably takes them out of the running.

I think that is what I will end up having to do. But first I have to convince the DIRECTOR of the Maryland DNR that a bare hull manufacturer can not issue a HIN. How sad is that, like this is literally their JOB.

This is what I get for being honest with them. Go figure. Time to send them the COAST GUARD REGULATIONS.

Too late for that one.... They wanted itemized receipts for materials so I provided them the invoice for the hull.

Just got off the phone with the manager of the dnr and they are refusing to let me register it without an MSO. And its my understanding that you can't get an MSO unless you buy a completed vessel.

Hey yaw, Has anyone in Maryland been able to successfully and legitimately register an aftermarket hull? If so did you register it as a home built vessel? I am in the process of trying to register my new Rickter XFR as a home built vessel and the DNR is making me a little nervous. Apparently...

I will definitely be hitting up Paul! He was great to deal with when i got my Zeel from him. As far as the 1100, you very well might be right. Maybe the 1021 would be a better option. Definitely something to consider. I'm deff down to come up there and ride sometime now that i have mine running...
